| Description of the problem | I have had previous problems before this with engine and etc bolt light on dash, causing the truck to go in limp mode. I was told it was the throttle body and that the truck had to be reset. On sept 21/2012 the etc bolt light and engine light came on in city driving conditions. When i slowed down for traffic using the brake i let off the brake and before i could do anything the truck raced off on its own almost causing a accident without ever touching the gas, the cruise control was not on. I turned off key and dangerously coasted to the side of road. I turned off the truck and re started the truck. At this point i had only engine light so i took it to dealer. They replaced gas pedal and reset it. The truck always scared me after this. I feel that this is a great danger with the new wireless drive system. This needs to be looked at buy the builder of this truck. |
